Schools

In a communist country if you are force to attend school.You do not decide what classes you take, or what would you do as a profession when you grow up, your only choice is to do your best to help the country.

In a socialist country you have freedom but you have to attend school until you are 16, than you can decide if you want to go to a private or public school. You can choose your own path.

 In a capitalistic country with the school systems you have almost complete freedom but there are only private schools that you can attend. You choose what do you wan to do study but you will have to pay for everything.

Urban and rural waste in China

My company book was Urban and rural waste in China since it talks about how China manage their wastes and what kind of trash can be founded based on the social class. Example if we look to a poor trash we will found more organic materials than in a rich person who in its majority is inorganic materials.
The must highlight was the words that are used in waste management because they explained the meaning of each word and showed the difference between them. This words are Reduce waste, Reuse waste, Recycle waste, Recover waste, Dispose of waste.
The least highlight was when the guy who wrote the book talks about things that happened to him and things that he saw while he was in china.

Mini wage

The Economic Policy Institute's latest analysis shows that most low-wage workers live in low-wage households, and 84% of the workers in low-wage jobs are at least 20 years old. But, regardless of age or need, anyone who shows up to work and puts in hard hours deserves a wage that keeps him or her out of poverty.

A higher minimum wage helps only those workers who actually wind up earning that wage and further disadvantages lower-income workers, who suffer fewer job opportunities and working hours. Though intended to help low-income families get ahead, the minimum wage instead costs some their jobs and others hours at work. This leaves poor families actually worse off.

The case against raising the minimum wage is straightforward: A higher wage makes it more expensive for firms to hire workers. How big an effect does this have on the job market? Economists debate this. But no one argues that increasing the minimum wage increases the number of unemployed workers who find jobs. In the end, the trade-off is clear. People who keep their jobs get more money; those who lose their jobs, or fail to get new ones, suffer.

Raising the wage will make it more expensive to hire younger and low-skill workers. There are better ways to help the poor.

With these arguments, I will say I am against raising the minimum wage because most of the people who works under the minimums low-wage are not going to be benefitted.

20% project

In my 20% time I am doing a video to let USA to hold the World Cup as soon as possible.

I been trying to get a hold with USYouthSoccer but they haven't answer my messages last week I get the statistics of the US Men National Soccer Team since it first participation in a World Cup until the one that was hold by South Africa almost 4 year ago. I will be looking to those statistics and comparing them with other teams around the world to see how much does Soccer has improve over the years in the USA at a international level.

My goal for this month is to have the compression done and review all the information that a have and hopefully make a little video to present my idea to Mr.Kapptie.

Monthly Salary

My total monthly salary before taxes and insurances payments is $ 8333.33 dollars or 51128.94 Yuan's which is the Chinese current money.
I have to pay 10713.88 yuan of Individual income taxes, which is 1727.89 USA dollars, than I pay 1432.63 or  $ 233.50 of Employee PRC social insurance payments and 4499.14 which is $ 733.30 of Employer PRC social insurance payments.
At the end after taxes and insurances payments i will have 38982.39 Yuan and 6353.61 USA dollars. The fact that I am a foreign in china will make the percentage tax payments increase and as I am making more than 50,000 and less than 55,000 yuan, monthly the tax rate is 30%.
All the information that used is show in the photos:

20% to be continue

I did not reach my goals of last month, I send some emails to the United States Soccer Federation asking for information, youth soccer association for videos and to the NFHS which stand for The National Federation of State High School Associations for statistics  but they didn't answer.
Instead of giving up I send more emails and as I expected they took some time to answer back but at the end they replied me.

During this moth I expect to contact Mark Koski, the Director of Sports, Events and Development in NFHS to get the statistics I need, than I will visit a website that was recommended to me by the United States Soccer Federation and than I hope to have enough information to write down and see how I'm going to present it.

My goal by the end of December is to receive videos from the manager of videos from youth soccer and start making the video.  

BlackJack In School

On Wednesday I totally forget that we were going to play blackjack but when i went into the classroom I saw everyone going to a table so I went there too and Mr. Kapptie was giving tabs to everyone than I remember that we were going to play blackjack but I never played before and because of that a was nerves. Mr. Kapptie explained some of the rules but I didn't pay attention, the only thing I hear was that the goal of the game was to make a 21. If we get a 21 in the first 2 cars we won instantaneously the double of tabs that we had in the table. I was going to play one hand hoping that I would not lose but than Mr. Kapptie said that we had to play at least 4 hands. I didn't play the first hand because I wanted to learn how the game was play. I play the second hand after I "analyzed" how to play but I lose. I ask Mr. kapptie how much does the J was and he say it was 11 I should ask him for the Queen and king because when I tried to sum the cards I though that the king was 13 but it was 10. After I learn that the king was 10 and some other things I won 2 hands in arrow I had a lot of fun playing and I will like to play again. I learn no to let my feelings to dictated my decisions during the game and also in the stock market.

Portfolio

I have 2 stocks that I bought one as a trade and the other as a investment. The first trade is Toyota Motors, the catalyst haven't happen but I reach my goal of take the money that I invested out of the table and I still doing more in Toyota Motors, I bought this as a trade because of the background of the company also because I have some friends that have toyota cars and I know that they like to have their cars in ultimate conditions and for this to be able to happen they have to buy some car's parts that they may need to fixed also because this would keep doing so well if they does manufacture a new and innovating car.
The second is J&J snack food I bought this as a investment. Catalyst haven't happen yet and I am doing money. The dividing yield for this company is 0.70% annual. I bought this as an investment because J&J Snack Foods Corporation over the years has grown to new heights by adapting to a changing environment, and by continuing to expand its own unique core products and market niches. J&J is a manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of an expanding variety of nutritional, popularly priced snack foods and beverages for the food service and retail supermarket industries also it is considerate the biggest seller of pretzels in the United States.

Trade vs Investment

Trades: it is a short term relationship with a company to try to make money. Normally this relationships last from 3 months to 6. If you invert money as a trade and dividends happen excellent, you can make a lot of money. If the market increase and you are making money keep the trade until catalyst happen or if it decrease and you are losing about 15% of the money you invert than sell it.

Investment: it is a long term relationship with a company, kinda as a marriage and just like a marriage you can get divorce in investment you can finish your relationship any time. Dividends most of the time brings good things to the company and those things increase the money that you had invested and if the stock market increase the price you can sell some sits that you already own in the company but the best thing to do is borrow some sit to someone else at the end you can increase the money that you are earning. If the stock market decrease the prices you have 2 options  1 you can buy more sits in the company or sell some of your sits but If catalyst haven't happen than you can wait until it happen and win more money than the one that you inverted. For short sell buy some of the sit of a company that broke or is about to brake and than sell it in the market with even a higher price than the one that you bough it.

Great Experience

On Thursday, October 10, I went to free enterprise, when I arrived there the first thing that I notice was that everyone was outside the classroom at first I though that Mr.Kapptie wasn't in school, but than I hear his voice asking everyone to get close to him in order to give us information. He explain what were we going to do in class that day, he said that we were going to pretend to be in the stock market for the hole period he also say that we were responsible for picking up candies and fake money that were in the flor to used them as trades to make money and see how much money could we possible do at the end of the period. The lights of the classroom were off but it wasn't in complete dark because he had some of the computers on and also the projector, running a video of the people who work in the stock market, it was annoying. I was kinda of scare because I didn't know how exactly we were going to do the trade even when Mr. Kapptie explained everything. When I went inside of the classroom wasn't sure if I could put the candy and the money inside if my packets or no and because of this I didn't grave so many candies as I could. When we started to trade I was so confuse on how much were we going to sell or even buy the candies, at almost the end of the period I totally understood how everything worked but it was a little bit too late but I didn't make so bad at my total money at the end of the period thanks to my intuition that told me that everything that was in a low price was going to increase. The experience of that day was very interesting and educative, the feeling of be there cannot be describe with words, you have to be there to experiment the feeling.

20% project

My 20% project is to created a propaganda to persuade FIFA of letting the USA to be the holder of the World Cup.

I haven done so much with my project, I have been researching on how much soccer has improve in the USA and the increment of the people who plays soccer since the introduction of soccer, but there isn't so much information about it .

At the end of October I am expecting to have enough information to start creating the propaganda. Otherwise I will be stuck.

After High School

My plan is to attent collage after high school

The colleges that I am looking for now are Northwest College and Casper collage

I'm not sure where can I work right now but it will be part-time

I will pay my options by working and scolarship

I would not be able to by a new car by my self because it will be very expensive to what I'm looking for in a car. I can affort to buy a used car, this car can be a BMW, Saab, Honda, Nissan and Toyota or even a Ford focus or any other of its kind that helps me to same some money on gas.

I am planning on live in campus if I move to Casper to live and study or find some place like a house and share the rent payment with others. Otherwise if I decide to stay here and study in Northwest college I will live with my dad at lease while I move somewhere else and I find a stabable job.

The average rent in Wyoming goes from 600 to 900 or even higher it depends on where you want to live from a trailer, apartments or an actual house.
